Great job Tyler...I love when guys work hard and force their way onto the field. Reminds me of Cie Grant...tired him at CB then he grew into LB, bottom line was he was an athlete the staff wanted on the field one way or another. I can't wait for this season! :osu:

Update from The O-Zone:

One More Backer: The linebacker at Ohio State is a bit crowded with quality players literally stacked up waiting for playing time. The OSU coaching staff has begun raiding that player pool some by moving two linebackers to defensive end. Additionally, there is talk that freshman Andrew Sweat may get a look at fullback. The linebacker numbers however are anything but depleted, and it appears that one more has stepped up.

"Tyler Moeller is looking good, he's a little playmaker that runs around and makes plays for us," said OSU defensive coordinator Jim Heacock this week of Moeller's play thus far in fall camp.

Dang is it fall already? Sweet, let's play some football! Tressel must be employing some sort of time travel device to get the guys more practice before the season. :biggrin:

If Speed Kills at Linebacker There Could be a Killer Dark Horse in OSU's Linebacker Playing Time Derby
By John Porentas

It's tough to be a linebacker at Ohio State right now, especially if your name isn't Laurinaitis or Freeman.

The Buckeyes have so many really good linebackers on their roster at the moment that the OSU coaching staff has taken to raiding that talent pool for other positions. Next fall you will find former OSU linebackers at defensive end and fullback and who knows where else.

OSU will line up with three linebackers on the field some of the time next season, and two of them will likely be Laurinaitis and Freeman. At other times, such as when OSU is facing the spread offense, there were be just two on the field.

The third linebacker spot will be hotly-contested. The common school of thought is that the leading candidates will come from the group of Austin Spitler, Curtis Terry and Ross Homan. All three have considerable playing time to their credit. All three are big, fast, and experienced. Terry is listed at the Sam linebacker, the spot left vacant when last year's starter Larry Grant exhausted his eligibility. A one-time starter before injury forced him to redshirt last season, Terry seems like the leader to be OSU's third linebacker, particularly since Spitler is a middle linebacker and Homan a Will linebacker.

Great game so far for Tyler vs Illinois.

First drive: 3rd down tackle to force punt.
Second drive: Great backside pursuit (with bodies in his way) and a crushing blow on Juice, forcing a fumble and setting up OSU's opening TD.
